H Salt Fish & Chips — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I feel kind of bad writing this review. I had very high hopes for this restaurant seeing the amount of people that were inside waiting. I have also had "hood" fish n chips as I like to call these types of establishments as they make some very good fish n chips; this is what I was expecting when I walked into this restaurant. I ordered the Triple Catch; which came with 1 piece of fish, two pieces of shrimp, 3 pieces of scallops with crinkle cut fries. Unfortunately, for this restaurant, the meal had no seasoning whatsoever. The fries had no salt or pepper, the batter was tasteless, and the fish, shrimp, and scallops had no seasoning at all. The scallops were rubbery; the fish fell apart as soon as I bit into it; the shrimp was decent because its hard to mess up fried shrimp. I had to dunk everything in the tartar sauce for it to have some form of taste because by itself it tasted like nothing. My respect to the lady behind the register who tries her best to understand what you are trying to say. Her and the guy who cooks look like they are working very hard with what they are doing and this is in no means a disrespect to them but the food was not good. It was cheap, about $9 for the meal which is a decent price for the area. Just make sure you speak clearly and try your best to listen to what the lady is trying to say as well because she accidentally charged me for a coleslaw but, once I told her I didn't ask for coleslaw she refunded me the amount of the coleslaw. It was a small mistake which I can see happen due to the language barrier. Overall, I hope that the owners use seasoning because the food can be so much better than what it is. The batter was very light and crispy so if it had a decent amount of seasoning on the fish or the batter it would be very good and I would definitely come back to try it again if these changes are made. The workers look very nice and friendly as well and they seem to have loyal customers as the lady working behind the counter recognized some of the people who I assume are regulars.

It's called H. Salt but they don't even add any seasoning to their...

My husband loves this family owned fish and chips shop. We have been coming here for literally decades. The Asian couple who own and run the store are very cool, I've never spoken much to either but I really like and respect them. I eat their fried jumbo shrimp, they are really very good. And we both love their fries. Living at the beach and my husband being a fisherman you would think we know many places to get great fried fish but it's not the case. He's very picky and this is one of a handful he likes. It's not fancy but it's really tasty and if the lady is cooking, she's especially skillful and light handed with the frying. It's far for me to drive from Venice but I do when we crave this fish shop. They package up your food in brown paper bags and always give me funny old boxes to carry my food home in, don't complain if they charge you for extra tartar or cocktail sauce, no they don't have lemon, but they have lots of drinks to go, have cash in case their card machine doesn't work, it happened to me, and please try this...

The fish and chips here come with two or three pieces of fish, crinkle cut fries, tartar sauce and vinegar. They deep fry their fish fried golden brown and the crinkle cut fries have a good taste to them as well. The tartar sauce is also a nice compliment for the fish. (Vinegar and hot sauce are also available.) This location of H.Salt represents their name and brand very well. Many of the locals know about this restaurant too as they been in business and have served the community for many, many years. If you're on the Westisde of LA, W Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice Beach or other nearby location then head to H.Salt to satisfy all of your fish and chip, comfort-food desires. The management here has great service, the staff is very friendly, the food is very good, the restaurant is alwas clean and you will not pay a lot of money for quality food. It is worth mentioning that they only use healthy oil to fry their fish as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is hungry for...
